Mary’s Brandenburg Bed Runner measures 30 by 100 inches, it was hard to take a complete picture! The center panel was super fun to enhance with eight different Superior SoFine!#50 threads!
The outside pieced blocks and borders are quilted with freehand flowers and bulb design with matching or low contrast thread.
I hope Mary will share a picture of the completed bed runner, which could be reversible!
Here’s a link to more customer quilt pictures! And more!
Thanks for looking!

Jack‘s cousin, Hannah, made a scrappy Lone Star quilt with the help of her grandma for 4H. Hannah and family stopped by the studio to take project pictures and watch me quilt some of the quilt.
I put the ruler foot and extended base back on my longarm to make the CC around the points of the Lone Star and SID the star and background, the rest is freehand quilting. Now that my ruler foot is back on, I’ll have to find some more projects for ruler work!
The batting is Quilter’s Dream Puff and the thread is two different colors of Superior Rainbows. When Hannah gets a little taller, maybe I’ll let her quilt on her own quilt like her cousin Jack!

It’s fun to make memory quilts and Sue’s collection of shirts were special. The first quilt uses favorite shirts of all types, including work shirts with pockets and buttons!
I used an uneven four patch to get the small units together and the little Herky was cut out of another shirt and appliqued on.
The second memory quilt uses similar woven, rayon and knit favorites. To add interest, I made a four patch out of the woven stripe shirts. The three patch center unit allowed me to use the polo shirt motifs. I love the wild rayon shirt prints! As you can see, it doesn’t always have to be a “t”-shirt!
Are you ready to make a “Memory Quilt”? If not, bring me your shirts and I’ll make it for you!
Thanks, Linda 🙂
We celebrated Aria’s first birthday last weekend and like Landon, I made a Lil’ Twister for her. Iowa Hawkeye fabric is perfect for this family and I added a 2 1/2″ border after sewing the twisters together. This is so fun to make, but I’ll need to get another pack of Kona charms squares to make more!
Here’s what the quilt looks like before the Lil’ Twister cutting. The smaller one is the waste squares from Landon’s Lil’ Twister before cutting with the Itty Bitty template.
Here’s the Itty Bitty Twister sewn together. The cutting mat grids are an inch and the twisters are about the size of a quarter! It’s tiny! This is still in the unfinished phase, I haven’t decided how to quilt and finish it!
After playing in the splash pad, we got Aria to cooperate and get a picture of us! Isn’t she adorable?! The back of the Lil’ Twister is Hawkeye fabric, too, perfect for a table topper during football season!
Here’s photo progression of making Landon’s Lil’ Twister quilt, time for you to make one, too!! If you click on the pictures, there’s a description of the process, too.
Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!

Once in a great while, I invite the quilt maker into my studio to quilt their quilt! Meet Jack, the quilt maker of this awesome scrappy batik quilt.
We had a great time quilting looped spirals together!
Pretty awesome first quilt! I’m excited to see what he does next! He’s lucky to have a grandma to encourage and teach him.
The thread is Superior Rainbows and the batting is Quilter’s Dream Puff.
Teach a kid to sew today!
Thanks! 🙂 Linda
